    Too many ideas

    So I just finished watching it and thought I would go ahead and read the reviews. I not sure what to think. It is a fever dream of a movie. I still am unsure what I watched, but by about 40 minutes in I was very tired of the "80s" cliche terms. Why was all of the dialogue was steeped in them and it was annoying. Was it because they were false memories? Idk. The acting was mediocre by all, even Dee Wallace, whom I love. I feel like there were just too many ideas wrapped up in this story. Definitely not sci-fi which was a shame. Alternate universe stories are hard to tell. I think there was just too much going on. I get it, new film makers have to go through some growing pains. I don't want to discredit the hard work that it takes to make films. Just keep going, not everything can be a winner.

    Confused? Idiotic? Mindless? All Three?

    A reviewer has a difficult choosing the right words to describe this pile of manure properly. Amateurish comes to mind, disorganized does too!

    The storyline is a mish-mosh of themes and genres! No one ever made the decision to make this a Soap Opera, a drama, a science fiction story, an apocalyptic saga. Or an alternate history tale!

    There is an insane timeline which contradicts all logic and mixes real events with fantasy, Events have impossible consequences and follow no linear pattern.

    The one constant is bad acting from some has-been actors/actresses who deliver performance that are either, over-the-top or devoid of any trace of acting - just reciting lines off a page with no emotion! Dee Wallace was never a good actress, but this film shows that what little talent she has is gone, the same is true for Michael Anthony Hall whose acting is wooden as an elm tree!

    One extremely annoying aspect of the film is its attempt to mock 1980s expressions and slang ad nauseum. In the 1980s, according to this film people spoke exclusively in slang!

    The most glaring flaw is that in the end NOTHING adds up...it starts as nonsense and ends as nonsense. BTW Roswell is in New Mexico, not Nevada and Area 51 is over 800 miles Northwest of Roswell!!!

    Lisa Whelchel is the strength of this film!

    I'm very happy for actress Lisa Whelchel's return to the set-she's getting better and better. "Roswell Delirium" is overall very well shot, and the cast delivers convincing performances. The screenplay is of a high standard, as is the character development. Given the numerous awards it has already won, we hope the film will be distributed in a greater number of theaters. It would have been great if Whelchel's role had been bigger, given her talent and long professional history-from the series The Facts of Life to the great success she has achieved in recent years, mainly through television projects.

    Some Good, Some Huh?, All Heart

    Ok, the GOOD: There's a lot to like here. First off, they shot it on the Alexa - which is no small feat on a tight budget. Camera work? Solid. The '80s actors and references? A delightful touch. The sound design starts off real rough, but by the third act it actually finds its groove. Acting-wise... it's a mixed bag. There are standouts, though. Anthony Michael Hall - legend - absolutely flawless in the few scenes he's in (probably three, maybe four days on set, tops, so don't blink). Lisa Whelchel and Dee Wallace? Great '80s additions, even in their brief moments. And who doesn't love America's dad, Reginald VelJohnson? Sam Jones? That guy makes everything better.

    The leads grow on you - seriously. They get noticeably better as the film progresses, which makes me think they might've shot it mostly in order (just a theory). So yeah, lots of good stuff here.

    Now, the Criticism: This movie changes tone more than any film I think I've ever seen. It starts off quirky - almost a comedy - with a few cringe moments, sure, but it's kind of charming. And then, boom, by the end it veers hard into drama and darkness. I was sitting there like, "Wait... what is happening?" It's just kind of bizarre.

    Also: it's not sci-fi. That's a bait and switch. It's a drama. Straight up.

    There's way too much exposition. Like, way too much. Classic "tell me, don't show me" problem - and that's the quickest way to lose an audience. At one point I literally thought, "Tolkien couldn't follow this plot." Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh - but still.

    That said, I've got a soft spot for low-budget films. I've made a few. They're tough. No one sets out to make a bad movie - it's a craft, and you learn by doing. So I hope the filmmakers see this as encouragement to keep going.

    Because here's the thing: it has heart. Especially in the final scenes with the mom and daughter - that hit.

    So yeah, not perfect - but a bold, heartfelt swing. And sometimes that's enough to make it worth watching.

    Nope.

    This movie was a horrible waste of time. I should have read the reviews first! Cheap production. Poor acting and worse script! As I watched, I kept trying to convince myself there was something good moments away. Nope. That never happened. It is "dramatic and suspenseful" to the extent that the scenes and timeline continually shifted, compelling you to believe the girl's timeline (her life) was being artificially shifted, perhaps by aliens. I still don't know if that was the case or not. The radio tech uaed to "communicate" with the aliens was a CB. Really!? As the closing scene rolled and faded, I realized I had just wasted 2hrs of my life. Please, I beg you, DO NOT WATCH THIS!

      At 51:17, Mayday responds on the ham radio, "Everything is fine here; situation normal, no kids, we're fine here now, thank you, how are you?" This echoes Han Solo's speech in Star Wars after they break into the detention block.
